Peppa Pig Market Opens in Upper Green Mall on 28th November
With Peppa Pig Making Special Appearances and Family Entertainment on Saturday 29th November.
Inspired by Peppa’s iconic “Shopping” episode, Peppa Pig Market is giving families an early glimpse into Peppa’s world ahead of the upcoming attraction opening Spring 2026.
A first for the Northeast, the brightly coloured space combines exclusive merchandise with playful, hands-on experiences - inviting little shoppers to grab a trolley, wander the aisles and head to the checkout just like Peppa and her family.
Peppa Pig Market will remain open throughout the festive season and, once the full immersive attraction opens next year, will become part of the wider PEPPA PIG: Surprise Party experience - while still remaining accessible to all shoppers visiting Metrocentre.
